What's the best country to hang out on with a beach & super fast wifi?
Costa Rica always gets thrown around - but wondering if there's anything better/warmer/cheaper/faster.

I'm living in Taghazout, which is a very small fishing/surfing village. It's quite touristic, so rent prices are high. I'm paying ~$400 per month. However, food is extremely cheap. I easily live on $25 per week when cooking at home.
My studio has a direct view towards the beach with opportunity for spectacular sunsets. The beach is 1 minute away, so I hear the sound of the ocean 24/7. The bays in the area give you more than enough beaches for sunbathing or surfing.
It's definitely warm, more or less around the calendar.
The internet that I have is extremely slow though. That would be a 0.25 Mbps connection. It's enough for working, but any forms of procrastination i.e. YouTube, cat browsing in reddit are nearly impossible. You can find 4 Mbps connection in some houses, but it is extremely rear. My guess is that in the big cities like Agadir, there will be fast wifi.

But in a nutshell - adventure, warm weather, learn to surf, meet a lot of tourists with who I can share my startup idea, and receive feedback prior launching.
To me, at least, being in Europe is also a really big plus. I love the idea that I could just take a ferry to Italy and going to Paris or London is only a slightly longer trip.
